    Moldm-3 to gdm-3 question?
    Hi guys,

    I'm stuck on this question where it's asking for the gdm-3, I thought moldm-3 x RMM = gdm-3

    So I did that to get 6.1 x 10-4 but then why does it have to be multiplied by 1000?

    Thank you!

    :eek:...:rolleyes:...:eek:

    Ahhhhh!

    Thanks for spotting that!

    k might as well clarify with you

    so cm-3 ---> dm-3 = /1000
    dm-3 ----> cm-3 = x1000

    Other way around :yes:

    If you have 1 'thing' in 1 mililitre, then you have 1000 'things' in 1 litre
